I'd say leg kick the shit out of him but Cain will be looking to catch a leg for a takedown.. so probably using his height/reach to keep him at bay and then use his knees if Cain dives in and in the clinch.

i really think overeem is a terrible matchup for cain. Its going to be shades of the first couple minutes of the jds rematch with cain shooting desperately at overeem while he easily stuffs him. Shortly after that he will get uberkneed in the grill TFO texiera style. Its going to be ugly. cormier will give overeem all he can handle though.

hubris - Cain was constantly clinching with JDS not allowing him to throw any punches. He was completely smothering him with grappling and wrestling.

What?Overeem's clinch game is going to be the most dangerous of all HW. Cain wants nothing to do with that. He is going to want to try to use his speed to take him down, and its deffinetly not going to be from the clinch

Neil McCauley - i really think overeem is a terrible matchup for cain.

Overeem is a bad matchup for all heavywieghts ( if we assume that he is just as strong in his next fight as he was before being popped for PE) just because he can finish with knees, kicks, punches, he can finish with relativly few strikes, and can finish from a variety of different ranges.I think that Cain has a good shot because he is much quicker and than overeem and has the cardio to take the fight wherever it needs to go fo 5 rounds.

I dont think Velasquez will clinch with Overeem, you dont want to eat hes knees, im guessing i will work to take him down and smash him.I like both but if Cain end up on top i dont seem Overeem getting out of this. Standing up, speed goes to Cain and i would give power and slight technical edge to Overeem. I want to see this fight but i think it would be fair for to all division if Overeem will have to beat somebody else after bigfoot ( if he beats him) to get a title shot. A JDS/Overeem for the top contender spot will make sense to me.
